My daughter and I got to know some wise old trees on beautiful Sugar Hill Farm, home of the inspiring Westchester Land Trust who collect and preserve tracts of often forested land for all to enjoy. #westchesterlandtrust #Eden#staywild https://www.instagram.com/p/B_-AjXtHALn/?igshid=11rso89ej02xt

Often when drawing people reading in cafes I can’t help but think of St.Jeromes, Mary Magdalens, Matthews and Virgin Marys laser gazing at their dusty bibles in Old Master paintings. #hungarianpastryshop#nyc #life#drawing#reading https://www.instagram.com/p/B_zjj7rn2Z1/?igshid=1m4zmjcklxxk7

I have so many drawings made on nyc subways over the years of people touching their faces, unwise in these public health days but I’ve always been after capturing these moments and often thought that they are moments of tenderness to the self especially needed against a passenger’s aloneness in a train car full of people. This one was drawn on a late night Broadway Local train in ink. #life#drawing#tenderness https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pUOWAHe9O/?igshid=j3iiaoxwxff1

Back when I lived in Rome years ago I’d regularly go out drawing with a good friend who wanted to draw just like the Old Masters and I loved and learned from looking at them too as with this study I but wasn’t interested in that, I always wanted something a little more contemporary or perhaps of myself in there.
